Look, I am not defending what SNL did. I am not now, and I didnt when the clip came out. Cant you and I simply get over this?
Well that is your perception, but this is an issue where Sarah and I agree, another would be ANWR, and a few other non-national issues. You see, I agree or disagree with politicians based on my own opinions. I dont blindly support a candidate and everything they stand for. Even the candidates that I have worked to campaign for, I disagree with some of thier views.
No it wouldnt be like that at all. In any shape. Michael Moore makes movies, Sarah Palin is the Chief Executive of my state. There are huge differences. Michael Moore is there to sell movies, Sarah Palin is there to set public policies. Certainly you can see the difference.
The same could be said for those who nitpick Nancy Pelosi and her daughter, of which a certain few members of this forum have taken issue with.
You see Pandora, it is all relative. People are going to be attacked for legit and illegitimate reasons when they are in the public eye. It is part of being famous. This has not changed for generations. The children should be exempt from most scrutiny until they make themselves public figures, either through thier own choosing or through thier indirect actions.
Well Fox managed to get moving picutes and audio to go with it. I remember an interview on a local channel news (ANC Channel 2 "KTUU") where someone from a tabloid was talking about the People magazine about the original deal, and they said the price would only go up if the Governor was pictured with her Grandson, guess what you saw with Greta, and look back at the interview and notice her absolutely fake surprise by seeing Sarah and the baby.
Pandora, every American news outlet pays for interviews when it comes to the exclusive nature. They all do it.
Well considering the education level of the Palins and the state concerned, the Palins are doing quite well for themselves without being large business owners. Todd makes well over 100k a year on the slope, and the Governors pay is also above that mark. They are not hurting, but are not multimillionaires, until the Sarah book deal comes through.
Well it wasnt so much Barbara as it was Jenna, but I found it a bit concerning that she was under SecServ protection and constantly ordering booze drinks in public.
Not quite, firstly her Mom was chosen as the GOP nominee, but that is mostly semantics. The reason this was made such an issue was two fold. The fact that much of the GOP in Alaska didnt like Palin at the time and the absurd rumors(from the far right) that Sarah's last child was actually Bristol. This of course is bogus, but the main reason the public announcement came that Bristol was at the time pregnant. To dispute the rumors that were being passed around by the ultra right wingers in Alaska and Murkowski supporters, who at the time claimed she was a socialist
Well again, this whole issue started with the actual conservatives in Alaska, who are staunch, and at the time didnt like Palin. But the second part of my reason for mentioning this, is simply the left pointing out the utter idiocy and hypocrisy of the right in thier views of abstinence only education. As Bristol herself pointed out in the interview.
Alexandra Pelosi's daughter was recently discussed on this forum for her work in making quasi documentaries about presidential candidates. Her best known one is Journey's With George. I would recommend you watch it, Ill save my comments about it until you see it for yourself.
While it certainly is not easy being the kid of a major league politician, I dont necessarily agree with your assessment that the Palin kids have it worst. Firstly the oldest boy Track has been largely left out of the issue, as has the middle girl Willow, and Piper has been nothing but a media sweetheart. Whereas Chelsea went through her maturing and puberty years while being in the White House and while on the campain trial was asked repeatedly about her Fathers filandering with an intern. Bristol gets criticism for things she brought upon herself, whereas Chelsea is subject to stuff she had zero to do with.

You will find most Alaskans quite friendly. Even me.
Without Government? not exactly. While the various homeless shelters that exist around the country are funded by a combination of private and government sources, usually private contributions dont cover the major costs.
OK, sorry for the confusion. In Alaska we have a system when it comes to alchohol availability that is based on local option. As I said before there are three options. Wet, Damp, and Dry. Wet(like Juneau and most large communties) meaning the community is basically full service concerning alcohol. Meaning liquor stores, bars, and restaraunts that serve. Then there is damp, meaning that someone can bring in booze from elsewhere and drink it in thier home, but alcohol is otherwise banned from sale. Then of course there is dry, meaning any booze is illegal.
Well now, Pandora that goes both ways, right and left. Certainly you know this when it comes to the current President.
You see this is why Blogo is an idiot, because if he would have done a single exclusive interview with say Larry King, or better yet, Neil Cavuto is would have netted him potentially a million bucks. Blogo was trying to save is rear end and went on any place who would have him.
Well there havent been any others but me at this point. I think the most likely scenario would be for Levi and Bristol to step in and help Sheri Johnston. But again, as an Alaskan, who likes to think that I have somewhat of a grip on the pulse of the state, I dont know the circumstances myself, but something certainly is fishy, when she can go from the DA to her current lawyer without a change in her personal finances.
